Ice Age Animals Research Project


Arrrrrrrr Mrs. Bohannon's Pirates! Now that you have one research project under your belts, it's time to try it again! For your last project, you worked with a partner. For this project, you will be working on your own and going through the same research process again.

For this project, you will studying the Ice Age and some Ice Age animals. Now, there were no pirates or buckaneers during that time, so my guess is you will all be learning lots of fun, new information!

Task:

Each of you will be creating a Keynote presentation that will include information on the Ice Age and one animal from that time.

Process:

  • You will learn about the Ice Age and choose ONE Ice Age Animal to research.

  • You will take notes from your research and keep track of where you got your information from.

  • Finally, all your information will be presented in a Keynote presentation which will include pictures that you find and cite.
